Phew! I'm glad this week is behind me now! My problems started on Tuesday, when I developed some severe stomach pains in the morning. I don't know what they were from, but they were the most intense stomach cramps I'd ever had. I couldn't eat, couldn't do physio and couldn't focus on anything. I didn't sleep much that night. By Wednesday afternoon the pain hadn't let up at all and I saw my CF doctor who figured it out pretty quickly.
Apparently, it's a common CF issue. It's never happened to me before, and I still can't believe it hurt so much. After some percocets for pain and a couple of procedures, my bowels seem to be working again. I am eating again and doing physio. I hope to return to my workouts on Monday.
In more exciting news, Piper got her lung transplant! I am so excited for her. She seems to be improving in leaps and bounds. Go Piper!
In other tx news, one of the people from my Edmonton group got their call. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a false call. The surgery was cancelled right before it was scheduled to begin. I can only imagine how devastating that would be... but better to hold out for the right set of lungs. So my friend is back to the waiting game. Hopefully her next call will be soon!
